E.L de la Mole invented the first military tank then sent it to the british to be manufactured
_________________________________________________________________
Lancelot de Mole did, indeed, design a machine that was very similar in appearance to, and in some ways superior to, the Tanks that emerged during WWI. He submitted his plans to the British War Office, but the idea was ignored.
Many people played an important role in the creation of the tank. Vehicles very like Tanks (i.e. an armoured body containing armament and travelling on caterpillar tracks) were also designed in France, Austria, and Russia in the decade before the outbreak of WWI. One was also contemplated in Great Britain. However, no Army or government chose to pursue the idea.
After the start of WWI, the British and French both began building Tanks, each unaware of the other's project. In Britain the most significant figures were Sir Eustace Tennyson d'Eyncourt, Major Ernest Swinton, and Willliam Tritton. It was Swinton and Tritton who jointly designed and built the prototype that became the Tank Mark I. In France, the likeliest candidate is Colonel J.B.E. Estienne, who had plans drawn up and persuaded the military to build them. The French and British projects were neck-and-neck, beginning in 1915, although it was the British who first used Tanks on the battlefield, on September 15th, 1916. The French first used their own in April, 1917.
The consensus is that no one person can be credited with being the sole inventor of the Tank.
